Default RE: 1st contest, 3rd place...

we didnt have a great turnout, 8 pilots but one forgot his radio leaving 7.
I stayed late to keep flying and one guy showed up that had not heard about the funfly.
I'm going to offer to snail mail a flyer about the funfly dates... Believe it or not some of the guys dont use a computer and dont get the e-mailed newsletters.
I bet we would get at least a couple more pilots...

Yes it was a blast! some of the guys talked about getting nervous But I had no expectations other than bringing the plane home in one piece.
I'll probably look into running one of these next year and give the old timers a break. They've been doing all the work....


I like the idea of a limbo contest.. Our grass runway is 75' wide. Run crepe paper between two poles and try to fly under it?
extra points for inverted, extra points if you cut the paper, would that be safe/doable?
Make the poles adjustable and let the pilot choose the hight?
